If I Like It, I Do It
Liberation Groove: Jamiroquai's Anthem of Freedom and Rebellion
Lyrics
If I like it I just do it
If I find something I like, I take action
Say that we have all the time we need to make it right
There's enough time to make things right
Don't hurry for nobody
No need to rush for anyone
If it ain't the thing you like
If it's not what you enjoy, it's not worth it
Know your place and fit your space, young man you will conform
Understand your role and find your place; conform to societal expectations
I didn't hear my soul express those rules when I was born.
The rules imposed on me at birth did not include conforming
'Cause I'm free to roam 'cause it's my home
I'm free to move because this is my home
You can't stop sweet inclination
Desire is unstoppable
The kids want the system breaking down
The younger generation wants to break the established system
Not higher education
Not interested in conventional education
If it ain't no natural law
If it's not a fundamental law, I reject imposed regulations
Then you can keep your regulations
Rules without natural basis are not accepted
'Cause if I like it I do it
If I like something, I act on it
But I keep on movin' though they wanna bring me down
Despite attempts to bring me down, I keep moving forward
I've gotta run for the cover,
I seek cover when necessary
And I keep on smiling
Smiling despite attempts to tie me down or harm me
Though they wanna tie me down and give me death for the lover,
Resilient in the face of adversity and opposition
And I keep on losing though I'm proving what I'm doing
Continuing my efforts even in the face of challenges
I'm still groovin', and if I like it I do it
Still enjoying life and doing what I like
You've got to help those people break that legislation
Encouraging others to challenge restrictive laws
We can overcome this suffocation,
We can overcome societal suffocation
Execute your natural liberation
Embrace your natural freedom
Happy to enjoy rejuvenation,
Happy to experience rejuvenation and growth
All around hear the sound
Hearing positivity all around
No-one can stop us now,
No force can hinder us now
A thousand rules for plastic fools
Critique of numerous rules made by insincere people
Now they can take a bow.
They can acknowledge their failure
Surely there's been time to see it doesn't work by now,
Suggesting that the current system doesn't work
So if I like it, I do it
If I like it, I do it
Still I,
Despite challenges
Keep on finding that they're pushing those distorted visions.
Facing distorted perspectives pushed by others
And I keep on living but I'm dying 'cause of their decisions,
Living despite the negative consequences of others' decisions
If I keep on looking I can find a higher space
Searching for a higher, more positive space
I'm still groovin' and if I like it I'll do it
Continuing to enjoy life, doing what I like
